I am planning on using my FAT GECKO (dual suction cups) on the track for racing with a go pro hero3 with a tripod attachment. Will this be stable?

As always,if you can do a test run at low speeds and work your way up, that would be the ideal situation.

I have used mine to take photos of storms never racing but if you extend the arm I think it may place more pressure on mount and may become loose but not sure. Good luck &#128077;

I mounted mine on a HD Ultra Glide with no problems. I love this mount, secure and easy to use. I rode to TN and listens to Sirius and used my GPS all the way. Bob

Comparable? It's a pole and the hero 3 is a camera, so no but it's compatible as meant to have the gopro on it. That's what it's for.

As long as you have a strap hole on the camera to loop this strap through. It is pretty buoyant - so really depends on how large/heavy your camera is. It kept my GoPro afloat with no issues.

I have not tried that but I think it'll be OK. Once it's tightened up, it is approximately as strong as the regular GoPro mounts.Consider this: The friction surface area between the ball and the shell is about as big as the friction surface area in a regular GoPro mount connector.

Well, yes and no. When you think of a camera on a tripod standing up on three legs, yes it is too heavy. It will sink down. However, if your purpose is to stabilize the camera or wrap the tripod legs onto a bar or other object you couldn't just sit the camera on, then the gorillapod would work great. I have used my gorillapod for a small Kodak Zi8 (similar to a flip camera) and it supports that just fine, but larger cameras do cause the tripod to sag a bit. This hasn't stopped me from using it much, though! I use it all the time. It stabilizes the camera wonderfully with the flexibility of its legs. And the magnetic feet have helped me stabilize it on railings and other odd places.

I'm not sure about the weight of that model. I gather that just one of these floats could have held up 2 GoPro Hero3s. Since they send you two of them, maybe you could attach them both if the Nikon is a heavier model. They really don't seem to get in the way of shooting. I'm using them all the time around water now. I never realized just how fast a cam will sink if dropped.

Small items yes but any weight adjustment causes stability challenges. Definitely wouldn't be able to handle a go pro. Looks like you need a drone. :)

I use it for a gopro hero3, I wouldn't recommend anything much heavier than that.

This plane is extremely powerful with a very light wing loading. I mount a "Cube" camera from Nitro Planes on mine with no problems what-so-ever. While the GoPro is quite a bit heavier, I feel sure it would handle it.

No, the gopro weighs almost as much as the 180qx (85g vs 95g). You might be able to lift a mobius camera, but it wouldn't fly very well.

I actually haven't had any problems with my Go Pro, nor has my brother. We have used ours in 2 Tough Mudder obstacle course races. Works like a dream.

My GoPro works fine within my FPV equipment. I too use 5.8g equipment with a Technicians' license. Please look into that before you invest. I'm not familiar with 3D-robotics. Sounds Cool.Sonny

The clamp itself held tight, but the supporting bolts in the gopro housing are liable to unravel due to vibration. Had I tethered my camera I wouldn't have lost it.Gopro do advise that these aren't the best means of attaching cameras :0)

The GoPro Hero 3 Black edition is too light to use on these types of mounts. There are stabilizers like this one but meant for GoPro.

Remember these will not help much if the platform where the tripod sits is actually moving. For that you would need a gyro stabilizer

I don't have enough information to give an accurate answer but Uwe Behrendt offered sound advice. The DMKFoto Ball Head is strong and well constructed. The advice about weighting the tripod is sound and you do not want to use a light duty tripod. If your camera will traverse to the end of the slider, I'm sure you need a good counterbalance. Your complete mounting rig needs to be an important consideration.
